The Vancouver Canucks are an interesting squad. It seems like they’ve played a lighter game since forever, but the Sedin twins are gone and the team is facing a new era and has yet to truly define itself. This year the squad made some bewildering veteran signings. In the cap age that’s not so bad […]
The news was perhaps not unexpected, but it was certainly met with joy when it was announced that Canada, USA and Mexico would be hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton look to be the three host cities in Canada, so there should be an opportunity to catch a big game […]
Cornwall Ontario – As the pucks dropped after the Christmas break it’s becoming clearer which teams have a shot at going deep into the playoffs, which are simply bubble teams and which should be focusing on rebuilding or reloading. Rebuild – I’m not sure why Arizona is in the NHL any longer. The league forcing […]

This seems to be the season the NHL cap really kicks in. In a normal world trading Phil Kessel for a bag of pucks wouldn’t make any sense. In the cap age….well. Brendan Shanahan and his team wanted to make a point and they traded away the team’s best player. Nobody is irreplaceable, but […]
CFN- The Habs ended the pre-season with a trade. Gone are Carey Price’s best bud Peter Budaj and Patrick Holland for Erik Tangradi. It’s an interesting move.
